At Christmas one almond is hidden in the ''grjónagrautur''. The one who gets the almond usually [[Mandelgave\|gets a prize]] or an early Christmas present.

In Sweden it is sometimes mixed with oranges and is then called '''apelsinris'''. '''Ris á l'amande''' (Danish, after French: Riz à l'amande, rice with almonds) is the cold risengrød with whipped cream, vanilla, and chopped almonds, often served with hot or chilled cherry (or strawberry) sauce.

It sometimes goes by the names ''julegröt''/''julegrøt''/''julegrød'' (Yule porridge), or ''tomtegröt''/''nissegrød'' (see [[tomte]]). The latter name is due to the old tradition of sharing the meal with the guardian of the homestead, called [[tomte]] or [[nisse]] (see also [[blót]]). The pudding is usually eaten with [[cinnamon]] and [[sugar]], with an 'eye' of butter in the middle. Sometimes an [[almond]] is hidden in the pudding. In Sweden, popular belief has it that the one who eats the almond will be married the following year, whereas in Norway, Denmark and Iceland the one who finds it will get a prize, often a marzipan figure. Often the leftovers or overproduction of the rice porridge is converted to ''risalamande'' by adding whipped cream and chopped almonds. In Denmark the game of hiding an almond is often done with ''risalamande'', making it harder to find the whole almond among all the chopped ones that ''risalamande'' contains.
